Lanting Collection Preface Part 4 The Secret History of Maoshan Chapter 54 Sitting Corpse
Back at the Yingzun Hotel, Luo Jinming had been waiting for a long time, and his face was like a chūn wind, and it should be relatively smooth to see what he meant.
"Brother Zhang, at half past eleven o'clock tonight, Captain Lu will come over in person!" Luo Jinming said: "This has to be said to be the credit of the hotel manager Bian, if they don't come forward to testify, maybe Captain Lu won't see you!" ”
"Manager Bian? Did he tell the story? Zhang Guozhong stretched his neck, and his face turned white.
"Yes! Otherwise, Captain Lu would have had a hard time believing me! Captain Lu personally called Manager Bian! Luo Jinming looked indifferent, "But don't worry, Brother Zhang, this matter is absolutely secret, and no one else knows about it except you and me, Manager Bian, and Captain Lu!" ”
"Oh...... That's good, that's good......" Zhang Guozhong was afraid that these things would spread all over the city, and it would be bad if he caused any trouble......
At 11:15 p.m., a taxi stopped at the entrance of the Yingzun Hotel, and a short and fat man Xìng sneakily opened the door and got out of the car, as if he was afraid that someone would follow him, "I'll go to the top floor...... I'm looking for Mr. Luo! Humpty Dumpty walked to the front of the service desk with a bitter and hateful face.
"This is Mr. Zhang Guozhong!" Luo Jinming introduced, "This is the captain of the archaeological team, Lu Yulin!" ”
"Mr. Zhang! I'm from the archaeological team, and I'm not surprised by a lot of things, but this time it's really a big basket, if you can really help, Lu is grateful! Captain Lu got straight to the point, came up and bowed to Zhang Guozhong first.
"Mr. Lu doesn't have to be polite, time is pressing, I need to know all the details! It's better to go and see it live! Zhang Guozhong gave Captain Lu to the side of the coffee table and handed over a cigarette.
"I'm afraid I can't go to the scene...... That place is no longer in my charge......" Captain Lu looked helpless, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken this task if I said anything!" I have twelve men under me. Six of them are in the hospital and their fate is uncertain, and two of them are still interning, and they haven't even worked on the object yet, so I don't know how to explain it to their families! ”
"Don't worry, Captain! There must be a way to save people! It's just that I need all the details! ”
"Alas! At the beginning, it was reported by several farmers, saying that they had dug up the ancient tomb! The county cultural relics bureau didn't dare to deal with it without authorization, so it reported it......" Captain Lu began to talk about the excavation of the ancient tomb with his head down......
It turned out that the cave in Jiangbei had existed for a long time, and many people knew about it and thought it was a fortification of the Kuomintang army. No one cared that when this so-called ancient tomb in the south of the Yangtze River was unearthed, the county cultural relics bureau did not associate it with the air-raid shelter in Jiangbei, but treated it as a separate monument, and did not pay enough attention to it, but sent a group of interns to organize the excavation. But later it was found that these stone piles were all things from the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the county cultural relics bureau suspected that it was a Jin tomb, so they did not dare to dig down, but reported to the province, and the province still attached great importance to it at first. An archaeological team of more than 20 people was sent to excavate, but the more they dug, the more wrong it became. almost made the on-site commander, Captain Lu, vomit blood, but then again, these stone stakes are still quite special, so Captain Lu decided to leave half of the people to continue excavating, but he didn't expect half of them to just leave. Something happened to the rest. Of course, as a senior cultural relics worker, Captain Lu is still keenly aware of the air-raid shelter in Jiangbei, and from the broken stone in the Jiangbei cave, these two monuments must have been symmetrical in stone, so after the accident in Jiangnan, the air-raid shelter in Jiangbei was also closed.
"When we first started excavating, many people came to see the excitement. Actually, there was an old man Huang who asked us not to touch this thing, saying that it was the Taoist master's dojo, and if we moved, we would be punished, I also laughed at the time, but I didn't expect something to happen! Alas! Speaking of this, Captain Lu began to blame himself, "I knew I would have asked more!" ”
"How old that old man is! Did you ask him where he was from? "As soon as I heard that an old man came forward to stop it, Zhang Guozhong came to jīng God, in case it was a witness back then, wouldn't he be able to understand some clues......?
"Hmm...... This one...... Not very clear...... But judging by his appearance, he should be over 70 years old...... Driving the carriage, at that time, this old man Huang was clamoring to see me, such an old man, the people didn't stop him, as soon as he came, he said that this was the Taoist master's dojo, and he didn't let us move, this old man had no teeth, and the surroundings were chaotic, and he muttered a lot of words in his mouth, but I couldn't hear clearly! So I ......."
"Just drove them away?" Zhang Guozhong's brain was bruised.
"It's not persuasion, it's persuasion! The old man was very enthusiastic, and he came to move our things, saying that he would help us transport them back! I kept nodding my head as he spoke, and he thought I had promised him not to dig anymore! Lu Yulin felt guilty for a while, "At that time, we thought that this old man was insane!" We also have a mission, how can we listen to an old man say a few words and go back......"
"Alas! Captain Lu! Since you've said you're not surprised by those things, and since someone told you not to dig them, you should inquire about them! Zhang Guozhong didn't even know what to say.
"Alas! Mr. Zhang, Brother Zhang! I know I was negligent for a while, but it's come to this point, I hope you can save the people in my team......" Captain Lu was also at fault, and his words were extremely unconfident.
"That's right, Captain Lu! What the hell did you dig up? I wonder if there are any inscription spells engraved in the array? Zhang Guozhong almost forgot the most important thing, if he wants to save people, he must at least know what is engraved on the pillar? (This array is the mastery of the Su Tu Sect, and there is only an overview and no detailed explanation in the Maoshan classics)
"Hmm...... I brought this! Captain Lu took out a small notepad from his arms, opened it and handed it to Zhang Guozhong with a few photos.
"My mother's ......" Zhang Guozhong took the book, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, it turned out that this jīng Zhong array was a fake "reincarnation map" of the eight pillars representing the eight directions of Zhenmu, Lihuo, Jin, Kanshui, Writing, Kuntu, Qianjin, and reclamation in the eight directions of the gossip, if you want to swing out of the column, you will be led back to the array by the ring-shaped soul attraction spell of the pillar, and you can't really be born forever, this principle is the same as the "ghost array" laid out by Zhao Kuncheng at the beginning, but this array also has a function that the "ghost array" does not have, It is to "protect a certain point", if a certain point is used as the eye of the array to set up this array, then no matter where the soul swims to, it will eventually be led back to this point, so this array has the effect of protecting someone or something, but why if the thing to be protected is a person, the protected person will not have an accident again, and outsiders will rush to touch it, even Zhang Guozhong can't figure it out, after all, the person who sets up this array has to cut himself, and he has to cast a spell before he dies, but it is difficult to say what kind of technique to use, this array depends on the things to protect, There is also a great deal of variation in the techniques used, and even if you can deduce one or two theories about it, it is difficult to make a conclusion if you don't know what you want to protect. (The techniques used to protect people, animals, gold or stone tools are very different.) )
Furthermore, according to the layout of the eight pillars, the slightly inclined angle and the analysis of the "Thunder Pond Mantra" on the stone pillars, another feature of the array eye of this array is that it is "separated from the yang heaven and earth", that is to say, the array eye of this array can completely isolate the heaven and earth yang, that is to say, whether the things in the array eye are yang, its yīn qi and yang qi will not be outward, so that if the evil ghost is placed in the eye of the array, its yīn qi will not be neutralized by the external yang qi, and its resentment will not be dissipated for a long time. On the contrary, it will become stronger and stronger, and if it is a living person who has been in the array for a long time, its yang energy cannot be neutralized with the external qi, and it is also very harmful.
Regarding the crooked "Soul Attracting Curse" copied in Captain Lu's book, Zhang Guozhong's guide is not new, but a precious text under the Soul Attracting Spell is recorded in Zhao Kuncheng's "Treasure Dictionary", which should have been extinct...... (Zhao Kuncheng's "Dictionary of Rare Characters" does not record all the rare characters, but only some "commonly used characters", just as the ordinary "Xinhua Dictionary" does not record all Chinese characters.) )
In addition, Zhang Guozhong also saw a line of poems in Captain Lu's notebook, which was the book left by Ma Sijia in the Jiangbei air-raid shelter...... In addition, Zhang Guozhong did not find any clues about "who is in charge of Jiangnan Jīng Zhongzhen".
"It's also evil, two days ago, we dug up a sitting corpse, and buried it directly in the soil, there is no coffin or anything like that, I have not seen such a burial in ancient tombs, but the strange thing is that this sitting corpse is a well-preserved corpse。。。 I mean, the skin is not rotten, it is not a wet corpse, it is not a dry corpse, it is just that the whole body is black, and the hair is even elastic! ”
Captain Lu's face was full of surprise, "Even if the age is not very old, this is an archaeological miracle!" Because of the soil conditions there, there are no conditions for the formation of dry or wet corpses! I thought I had discovered the New World, but I didn't expect something to happen right after! ”
"You put the corpse ...... Dig it out? Zhang Guozhong's eyes widened.
"No......" Captain Lu sighed, "I just dug into the door of my brain and had an accident, so I buried it secretly myself!" However, this sitting corpse has a bun on the top of its head, which is very similar to ...... Taoist! ”
"Sitting on the corpse...... Who could it be? At this moment, Zhang Guozhong closed his notebook and began to walk around the coffee table, it may be the person who sets up the array to cast spells, or it may be the person who the array wants to protect, but unfortunately the excavation site has already gone......
"You can read these things!?" Captain Lu pointed to the notepad and said in surprise.
"Oh...... No...... I don't understand ......" Zhang Guozhong didn't want to reveal that he understood these things. “…… So be it...... Let's divide into two ways, Captain Lu, let's go to the hospital now, Xiao Luo, can you work hard again and find this old man surnamed Huang? That old man is important! ”
"No problem!" Luo Jinming's answer was very happy.
"Wait......" Zhang Guozhong thought for a while, picked up the phone again, "Hey...... Brother Shen...... Alas...... It's me, it's me...... I'm sorry to call so late...... I still have one more important matter to ask Brother Hadron for help, can you say hello to me again...... The stakes are high......"
